I think that this is a great step in the right direction of using technology for medical purposes. The United States is experiencing a huge opioid epidemic and I think that supplementing traditional drugs for technology is a step in the right direction. I would be interested in knowing if this mask could eventually be developed for commercial use…[Read more]

I think the release of the Model Y will be a great move not only for Tesla, but the automotive market as a whole. There has been a need in the market for an affordable and quality electric SUV. The fact that Tesla is able to offer the Model Y for such a reasonable price means many customers will be able to “buy in” to the Tesla brand that they’ve…[Read more]

Google recently announced their entry into the video game market with their product, Stadia. As Google puts it, the future of gaming “is not a box. It’s a place.” What differentiates this product from the rest […]

In theory I think that this idea is genius. The fact you don’t a physical console and only need a tablet or phone or computer is a game changer because all of these devices are relatively normal commodities that the average person owns. The only barrier as you said is the need of a constant good internet connection to stream all these games. I think that Google will leverage its internet service, Google Fiber and expand into more areas to provide people with a fiber optic connection that offers data speeds up to 1,000 Mbps.

I think this idea is brilliant and I personally hope this takes off. Historically, people had to pay a relatively high upfront cost just to play games. Now you can play triple A titles on your existing devices as long as you have a decent internet connection. I think the real challenge would be price and latency though. If the price is too high at its introduction, that would shy away a lot of the customers and Stadia might suffer a slow death. Also, latency is going to be an issue as a lot of competitive games like CS:GO and Overwatch depend on having the lowest lag possible.

I think this is an exciting and promising addition to Google Map’s functionality. Like my peers have previously highlighted, following street directions while walking in a city can sometimes be frustrating. I think everyone has a story where they are trying to follow their GPS and it simply can’t figure out where you are/what direction you’re…[Read more]

It’s always interesting to see how traditional companies try to utilize technology. In the case of Lego, I think that augmented reality to a great avenue to explore. The ways that AR can positively impact children is pretty widely accepted, with multiple different use cases in hospitals all over the world. The new app they plan to release,…[Read more]

This is pretty remarkable that AI has gotten to the point where it can successfully debate a real person. The complexity required to not only make sound arguments but to refute opposing positions show that the technology is making huge steps forward. One thing that may be a cause for concern, like with most arguments, is that you first have to…[Read more]

Seeing a massive wave of advancements in recent years, artificial intelligence has quickly become powerful enough to ponder the possible ramifications of the technology. One such example of AI that has seen […]

This is really interesting but I am sure there could be other ramifications to this technology. A facial authentication that can tell if the face was digitally composed or not will probably be following this in hopes of cutting down on the inevitable problems with fraud/theft etc.

Televisions have come a long way since the introduction of the giant plasma TVs everyone seemed to have in their living room. In recent years, the technology used with TVs has advanced drastically, integrating […]

I agree entirely – I don’t mind that companies are collecting data about the shows that I watch however when it comes to other platforms it is necessary that users are made aware and consent to the collection of their data. This is truly the controversy of the moment right now and could not have been a more relevant topic to discuss. Companies such as Facebook have put their consumers’ private information at risk. If other companies start selling their consumers’ private data who knows what privacy we will have left. I do believe that it is necessary that we require TV companies to receive consent in order to collect our data to set a precedent for other companies who intend to do so who may have access to more sensitive information.

Steve Jobs was a fantastic presenter, which he showcased countless times when he would debut the latest Apple technology. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to deliver such a captivating presentation knowing that your products would change the industry forever. However, I think that this fact also played into why his presentations are so…[Read more]
